This sweater is inspired by the Monarch butterfly, with its orange wings and white speckled black stripes.
Knit from the top down with 3 different patterns of stranded knitting (mostly double, but also a few rows of triple stranded).
Divided into body and sleeves after the yoke. The pattern section in the yoke contains integrated stitch increases. The sleeves and body are knit without increases or decreases apart from a widening at the sleeve cuffs produced by repeating a slightly different variation of the wing pattern from the yoke. This widening creates a bell shape which is then pulled in by the ribbing. The ribbings on the body and sleeves is „twisted“, by knitting the K stitches through the back loop.
Lots of fun details that add an organic appearance to the garment, imitating its namesake, the butterfly.
